Experimental evolution of symbiotic microbes without their partners can imply the presence of cooperative or antagonistic adaptations

T. Larsen, C. Jefferson, A. Bartley, J. Strassmann, D. Queller

The paper uses experimental evolution to study microbial symbiosis by evolving microbes in isolation, revealing strain-specific adaptations that suggest historical cooperative or antagonistic interactions.

In the social amoeba D. discoideum, shortened stalks limit obligate cheater success even when exploitable partners are available.

J. Medina, T. Larsen, D. Queller, J. Strassmann

The paper shows that obligate cheaters in D. discoideum produce shorter stalks in chimeras, reducing spore dispersal and limiting their success despite available partners.

Reduced social function in experimentally evolved Dictyostelium discoideum implies selection for social conflict in nature

T. Larsen, I. Jahan, D. A. Brock, J. Strassmann, D. Queller

This study shows that experimentally evolved Dictyostelium discoideum lost traits related to social conflict when selective pressures were removed, suggesting these traits are adaptations to natural social interactions.

Unpredictable soil conditions affect the prevalence of a microbial symbiosis

T. J. Scott, C. J. Stephenson, S. Rao, D. Queller, J. E. Strassmann

The study examines how unpredictable soil conditions influence the prevalence of microbial symbiosis in Dictyostelium discoideum, finding that precipitation unpredictability affects Paraburkholderia symbionts differently.

Limits to the spread of an obligate social cheater in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum

J. M. Medina, D. Queller, J. E. Strassmann

The paper identifies three costs limiting obligate social cheaters in Dictyostelium discoideum: inability to form fruiting bodies, negative frequency-dependent cheating, and shorter stalks in chimeras.

Endosymbiotic adaptations in three new bacterial species associated with Dictyostelium discoideum: Burkholderia agricolaris sp. nov., Burkholderia hayleyella sp. nov., and Burkholderia bonniea sp. nov.

D. A. Brock, A. M. Hubert, S. Noh, S. DiSalvo, K. S. Geist, T. S. Haselkorn, D. Queller, J. E. Strassmann

The paper describes three new Burkholderia species that can persist within Dictyostelium discoideum spores, distinguished by their unique traits and symbiotic capabilities.
